Over the past week, the world has been treated to a new report about Tom Cruise’s latest act of supposed heroism.

This time, the gung-ho mega-star wasn’t seen landing a helicopter in someone’s back garden or hanging upside-down from an airplane for some insane stunt for Mission Impossible. Instead, news came from “insiders” that Cruise is so amazingly generous to his UK-based film crew that he had 300 of his beloved holiday cakes delivered to them, all the way from his favourite bakery in Los Angeles.
